I have seen what claims to be quite a sophisticated lead acid battery
charger working off a solar panel.
At its heart is an IC marked ATON 3V3 but I cannot find this device.
Could anyone send me the spec of this device- or where I may find it.
Thanks

This is probably no help but if this for a navigational beacon, AtoN =
Aids to Navigation.

The Aton IC is a custom chip (a preprogrammed microcontroller, probably
a PIC or an Atmel) used by Steka, IIRC. Aton is an egyptian god,
represented by the sun, so the name.
